As of this writing, Rey Mysterio is still a member of the Lucha Underground roster. However, considering the time of year and the magnitude of WrestleMania, I’m fairly certain something could be worked out if the need were to arise.
Rey Mysterio is the ultimate underdog. His entire career has been a triumphant story of how someone only 5’6” and roughly 170 pounds, has been able to not only compete but dominate at the highest of levels.

Pro wrestling has typically been a sport designed around those monstrous, larger-than-life characters.
However, Mysterio was one of the original small guys who destroyed that very notion, paving the way for an entire generation of performers to not only be accepted but be embraced and absolutely celebrated.
There is no doubt whatsoever that Rey would receive a hero’s welcome if he were to appear at WrestleMania 33.
It’s also worth noting that Mysterio is booked to be in Orlando during WrestleMania 33 weekend. This obviously doesn't automatically mean that he will show up at ‘Mania as there are many former WWE Superstars booked in that area during WrestleMania weekend.
Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
